Whatever part of our beautiful planet we might find ourselves on this Equinox, we are all crossing a threshold that is moving us into a new cycle and season of Life. - Mijanou from Mystic Mamma

So, what is the spring equinox ? The word equinox comes from Latin and means, “equality of night and day.”

This astronomical event happens only twice a year, with the spring or vernal equinox falling on March 20, 2022, and the autumnal or hibernal solstice on September 22, 2022. It’s rare and special, and an invitation to examine the day and night within us all and to illuminate the light and darkness within.

Where does your duality lie, and has it become unbalanced?

Perhaps you’ve been hearing about how the spring equinox brings a feeling of lightness and lifting. And it does! HOWEVER, it doesn’t happen instantly. As a shift begins to happen, in this case from the chilly, quiet and introspective focus of winter to more outward, vibrant, engaged, and energetic feelings of spring, it may be quite uncomfortable or even painful. There’s something very magical about this transition, and it’s not necessarily easy.

Discomfort in GROWTH is a real thing.

Have you watched how you self sabotage right at the brink of getting something you really want? Habits feel right to our neurons even if they are no longer serving us, which is why so many of us find change really uncomfortable and overwhelming. One of the reasons for this is that our nervous system is not able to deal with the positive changes that are happening, so it tries to bring us down to feel “normal” again . Change requires a creative process that is always a messy journey into the unknown, a zone that can be terrifying.

“Light and darkness dancing together, born together, born of each other, neither preceding, neither following, both fully being in joyful rhythm,” — Madeleine L’Engle

A few tips to navigate this powerful equinox time:

1. Cultivate Presence

Practice mindfulness to anchor yourself in the present. Fear doesn’t exist in the now. When we feel fear, it is because our minds have projected a (negative) future scenario that doesn’t exist in the moment.

Mindfulness practices also have transformative power. They encourage you to respect your intuition and understand that discomfort can be navigated, is only temporary, and is a rite of passage to a better place.

2. Redefine Failure

Choose to redefine failure as an experience that didn’t turn out as you envisioned, but one that is natural, temporary, and a creative opportunity.

Most of us would never make a change if we didn’t have to. Failure is frequently the only opportunity we have to upgrade ourselves.

3. Define Your Purpose

We have a finite amount of time on the planet. What do you really want your journey to be about?

Asking yourself what is the spring equinox and listening to these HEALING FREQUENCIES can help you transition into the new season with joy and ease.
